what's the hardest game you've beaten?
>>738629470Smoking some tobacco is good for you.
You didn't beat the game.
>>738630045It's better for your lungs which is what matters
>>738629470I keep telling myself I need to stop, but I lack the motivation. I only have one cigarette a day, but it's still not a great habit
>>738629470pic rel
>>738629470What I did to quit, is I switched from smoking to dipping tobacco, which gives you like a constant nicotine drip feed rather than periodic bursts of nicotine from smoking Then, once you get used to dipping tobacco, you go out and buy >>738630045 this, but you get Step 1 which are 21mg patches, AND you get Step 3 which are 7mg patches. You use both the 21mg and 7mg patches until you run out, and that basically overloads your system with nicotine more than dipping tobacco or smoking can ever do. Once you run out, you lower it to 21mg, then 14mg, then 7mg, then you quit. That's literally how I did it, and I've been off nicotine for about 3 months now I think with hardly any cravings
>listen to allan carr's easy way to stop drinking>yeah m8 u dnt need alkohol>hell you dnt even have 2 quit drinkin rite now if u dnt wanna>turn it off>managed to quit drinking for the most part on my own
why would you ever start smoking at all in the first place? there are 0 upsides or benefits. It's like willfully hitting your head against a wall just because why not
>>738632291Remember that the tobacco companies were central to a conspiracy that would make the CIA blush, hiding all evidence of harmful effects for years and years.
>>738632089Alternatively, I have a baby coming. So I cut off smoking, switched to Zin pouches, went from the 9mg ones, horrible stuff, hiccups every time. But I had to finish the pack, after 3 weeks went down to the 3mg, then the lowest, and now I'm nicotine free for at least 7 months.That's solely my experience, been smoking for almost 18 years. It may he hard but some, but it's possible. You could still consume tobacco, but burnt or vapes are the worst way to enjoy them
im glad i quit smoking, sometimes i wonder why i even started
>>738632362I find it weird that as powerful as "big tobacco" was/is they still lost.
>>738632467No they didn't, they just rebranded themselves. Every other zoomer out there is addicted to either vapes or zyns
I miss the early days of vaping where people were making all kinds of cool mods, RDAs/RTAs, coils and every flavor of juice imaginable. I wonder where we would be at if the scene hadn't been killed off.
>>738632375>hard-drive.netuhi'm not going to that website but is this satirewewwhat a world to live in
>>738632291I know right. Like, i have been told all my life by my parents that drugs and smoking is harmfull. So i of course avoided it. Why would anyone do it?
>>738632291It feels good in a way that nothing else does.
>>738629470>Sir Anthony Hopkins
This game is so fucking hard I still can't beat it.
>>738629470MMOs and MOBA games - by quitting.
>>738632467Everyone outside of the USA still smokes. Even in Europe. Or they vape.
>>738632467hard to win when smoking cigs is objectively so over the top awful for you
>>738632727Is this comic making fun of smokers because they are normies bad at video games and/or because they light up after every single minor inconvenience or something? I don't get it
>>738632467>lostIs this what losing looks like? 114 billion market cap and pays a dividend.
>>738637625Because smoking kills you and is easily avoidable….
>>738637625>normiesYou are new to 4chan LOL
>>738637802if smoking doesn't kill me something else will anyway
>>738635016I knew this was going to be here, and I still got mad.
>start smoking because of the initial stress of my doctorate>get a handle on things ~7 months in>stop cold turkey after smoking consistently the entire time>0 issues quitting, been over 8 years since then and never smoked againaddiction isn't real you're just mentally ill/weak
>>738632291it looks cool
>>738632291I dont smoke cigs, but tobaccofags around me say its the only thing that temporarily and instantly relieves stress. The people who usually smoke usually do a job that's really fucking stressful, like line cook or in the military.
>>73862947017 years of smoking up to a pack a day and I quit easily without help. Skill issue.
>>738632291I made the poor life decision to go to film school when I was a teenager and a truly absurd number of students and faculty were chainsmokers simply because they wanted to look more French.
I never smoked actual cigs and I had a brief stint with Black n Milds from WalMart of all things lmao in my early 2010s but luckily I only got into pot not hard-addictive NICOTINE
>>738632467Nah they won in the end. They managed to convince 3 generations that vapes are healthy and they're buying up as much of the medical marijuana business as they can too. When you get offered medical weed they wont let you buy any until you specifically buy a vape from them. You cant buy your own vape online or just say you have one, its a requirement you buy a "medical grade vape" from a tobacco company.
>>738638065I just bought a pack recently after having quit for years. It made me so sick but I still felt a compulsion to have more so I had to just destroy the rest. It's genuinely a garbage tier high and I have no idea how I ever smoked as much as I did when I was younger. Plus that shit is damn near $15 a pack now. Fuck that.
>>738629470Just smoke menthol fags.>inb4 nigger
>>738638265>Plus that shit is damn near $15 a pack now. Fuck that.Shit's like $40-50 a pack in Australia. US and Asia still have it really good when it comes to how cheap addictive highs are.
>>738638148What's wrong with vaping?>t.Vape but plan on quitting tomorrow
>>738629470>>738632291People get awards and badges for going sober from drugs, alcohol, smoking you name it.Yet i haven't smoked or done illicit drugs my whole life, where's my award?
>>738632291>why would you do impulsive act>*vapes*
I smoke occassionally and I wish they tasted like they used to, I dont know what manner of shit chemicals they have added to them over the years but most of the brands just arent the same (at least in EU)
Substance abuse is easy to quit because most of it makes you feel like shit at some point. Porn is the final boss of addictions.
>>738637936Alcohol addiciton is real, I've had patients nearly die over quitting cold turkey. Seizures, strokes, really the whole gamut of neurological disorders. Plus possible organ failure. Shit is no joke.
>>738638361There’s nothing wrong with vaping. I guess you could say it might be a gateway to cigarettes for young and stupid zoomers, but so far there is no actual evidence vaping is harmful
>>738638557>There’s nothing wrong with vaping.Makes you look like a faggot
>>738637646Imagine how much higher it would be without all the negativity
>>738632291obama banned the djarum vanillas i smoked so i haven't smoked since :(
>>738638361Having your baseline be under the influence of a stimulant all day every day can’t be healthy. After I quit I realized I was quite literally unable to relax, for over 10 years. The concept of relaxation was foreign to me for a decade and I wasn’t even aware of it
>>738632291Boredom, loneliness and don't care if I die. I have nobody and have been teetering on homelessness for the past decade. This world is hell and I don't care if I check out early.
>>738632547Good fuck vapes, I'm glad it's illegal to sell them where I live. All the vape shops were owned by filthy jeets that had no qualms about selling to kids. Every kid was addicted to them before they were even out of high school.
>>738632291Most start smoking when they're impressionable teenagers and easily fooled by ideas of smoking being "cool."
>>738629470i dont know. ninja gaiden on nes is considered pretty difficulti found the original operation flashpoint, or arma cold war assault, to be difficult. it requires a completely different skillset, and a wide set of skills, than most other games. id recommend it if u want a challenge. i think its on gog and steam
I used snus for fifteen years. I quit a year and a half ago cold turkey. Feels good.
>>738640519>cold turkeyThat's the best way to quit anything. I just drank a gallon of vodka over the course of 4 days and realized I have a serious problem. So I went cold turkey. Had cold sweats and felt like I was going to have a heart attack the first few nights but I'm good now. Real talk though, don't quit on your own if the withdrawals would put you in the hospital or kill you.
>been smoking like once or twice a week>now lately after every shift because it helps>never been an impulse problem and it doesn't feel like one yetam I at risk
>>738637802I feel stupid now
>>738640746>because it helpsAlready there bro, RIP in piece in advance
>>738640746Depends on your addiction profile for the substance and there's no real way to tell until there's too late i don't think. I started with one cigarette every few weeks but it ended up being 2/3 of a pack a day and been that way for almost a decade now
>>738632291I dont smoke cigarettes - they are mostly trash, but I love the taste and smell of Virginia tobacco in a pipe, or certain types of cigars. It clears my mind and makes me less anxious. Now cigarettes, that is quite literally a different substance, at least most brands. Natural tobacco wrapped in natural tobacco which is then wrapped in more natural tobacco is very different than flavored paper wrapped in more factor chemical shit with maybe a hint of burley inside.
>>738640746Smoking one after work doesn't count, it's like social smoking.
>>738629470Street Fighter 2010, the gorilla robot is a fucking bastard.
>>738640746>am I at riskYes because any smoking is bad. I smoked for like 15 years and it never stopped making me feel like shit. You're moody and restless for a few days after you quit but you immediately start feeling better. Exercise instead.
>>738632291They are literal NPCs. My only vice is jerking off, which is free.
>>738640975It all smells like shit to me since I quit. Every once in a while when I'm out for a walk on a hot summer night and I get a whiff of someone smoking I remember the times that I enjoyed it but I have to remember that it'll just make me feel sick and very ashamed of myself if I do it again.
>>738640891my addiction is nonexistent. people say I waste alcohol because i usually enjoy 2 drinks maximum and that's rare.>>738640886i work in a restaurant
>2026>doesn't smoke cigarettesAre you bullied at school, mentally disabled, or both?>b-but you can die from itSo? Was life a competition about who lives the longest?>you get addicted!!!You don’t, if you’re not underage and know how to smoke in moderation.>i-it costs money!!!Who’s forcing you to buy a pack a day, you fucking peat-brained idiot.
>>738632291I know multiple people that started because it was the only way they were allowed regular breaks at their job.
>>738632291>>738640975Also a bag of Virginia tobacco cost about $11 and smoking a pipe 5-6 days a week will last 1-2 months. It is not expensive at all. Corn cob pipes can be bought for $5-$10 as well.>CigarettesDifferent substance (literally).None of the negatives of gas-station shit-head cigarettes apply to what I smoke. None of it.
>>738641558Can I roll my own with that, or is there tobacco “grades” for specifics?
>>738641421Go back to your burning trash heap of a board Pekka, and weep how it's turned into something even worse than reddit.
>>738641685pipe tobacco isn't going to burn in a couple minutes with cheap wrapper, a cigar lasts longer than a cigarette, pipes last longer if you wantspent $20 when I turned 18, got a starter kit pipe smoking kit with nice sizes bags of tobacco that eventually went stale, it was too much. a pack of newports is maybe $11 before tax around here, and that gets the cigarette-er maybe a day and a halfat least smoke cigarettes you think taste good, if i waste money its on camel crush peppermint
I am amazed at how many people vape these days. I lived through the smoking generation and everyone says “oh we just weren’t as aware of the risks then” then decide to go on and mass adopt another vice before we see the effects of it on a generation. Can’t wait to see the effects that millions of puffs of Chinese poison have on what seems like 95% of the population these days.
>>738641789I havent been there since 2019 or so
>>738632291I never picked up smoking because as a kid/teen I saw the prices on the packs and thought to myself "A pack of this vile smelling shit costs as much as buying enough snacks for an entire day of playing video games? Fuck that noise lmao"
>>738641960So you were the kid that blew his lunch money on milk duds and gummy worms before school even started.
>>738641892the last smoking generation*
Damn fine
>>738641990Guilty as charged.
>>738642036Would be alright if not for the pissy aftertaste.
>>738642124I'm into watersports so it's cool
>>738642036I'm a fan of this myself, shit has a good flavor. I wish it didn't cost 15 a pack though
For me? It's has got to be Sampoerna.No, I'm not an Indog.
Vaping saved me from COVID
I quit as soon as i got back, i miss Japan.
>>738632362>needing the government to tell you inhaling smoke and developing tar in your lungs is bad for youDude I cough and open a window if I toast something a little too long and I don’t even have asthma. Normies are insane.
>>738642271
>>738642313Fucken same. That and Peace were really good.
>>738642036>>738642036Why haven’t they been cancelled? Do tribes not know
>>738642271antibiotics cured mine, covid wasn't the hoax, vaccines were.
>>738641892Eh it stopped me from burning through 2 packs a day. Helped me regulate too since you get a bad buzz if you vape too much. They should probably stop selling candy flavored vapes though.
>>738642597Why
>>738642456Its natural tobacco (much stronger and less diluted than typical tobacco), thus a healthy and organic product without the additives.
>>738642597Vaping never really did much for me. Just a slight light headed feeling when I had the first one of the day then for the rest of the day it didn't do jack shit no matter how much I huffed and puffed. I guess it helped me quit but only because I realized how embarrassing it looks to not be able to go 30 seconds without sucking on your little vibrator.
>>738642718where do you buy the vibrating ones
>>738642718Let me see your phone screen time chartProbably on it for 8 hours a day
>>738642685Vaping is already inherently gay. Kids vaping menthol Minecraft or whatever the fuck flavor they use are getting 4x gayness multiplier and making them trans.
>>738642696>healthy It's not, they even say it on the box
>>738632291I smoke before I workout because it's basically meth. I've been doing this for years and have never smoked more than 1 every 1-2 days. caffeine is 10x unhealthier than this shit.
>>738632291I don't smoke, but I'm honestly surprised by how many of you are anti-smoking. I figured more anons would do it because it was "cool"
>>738642896>loves meth.Imagine going on Dbol and Tren, you would go berserk.
>>738642896Massive cope. I'd puke if I smoked before hitting the gym.
>>738642982no thanks I don't want sandpaper skin and double d tits
>>738642954had parents that smoked, could tolerate the smell just didn't like the way it made my head dizzy even just the smoke. (I have similar sensitive shit with substances like alcohol, I don't need to be intoxicated myself but if others are? I start to vibe like that anyways so I don't need to be drunk as fuck either, parents smoked, drank alcohol and coffee.)
>actually find mild nicotine withdrawal quite pleasantWhat the hell is going on with me?
>>738638716That goes for caffeine, too. I wonder how many people there are whose "stress" and insomnia is really just caffeine fucking them up without them realizing it. Most don't think anything of it.
I have an insanely high alcohol tolerance. I'm sure I've done serious liver damage by this point. I can drink a 750mL bottle of vodka in one night and I usually don't remember anything past the halfway point. I've kept my drug and alcohol addiction secret for a long time but the last time I drank that much I left my weed and empty bottle out in the open and mom found it and almost kicked me out.
>>738638471>porn is the final boss of addictionsfood is the final boss of addictions. you need to eat, its maybe your strongest biological imperative, and healthy food generally tastes worse, goes bad faster, and costs more than healthy food. and you can still eat too much healthy food making it unhealthy

>>738629470Are there any omorashi scenes in this game?
>>738643808Alcohol was the only way to in the past get desirable quality drinking liquid, plus alcohol is a way to keep getting a steady source of calories with ease and replicable standards that don't break a bank. (if you make alcohol yourself, you skip the negative affects and learn useful skills.)
>>738643978I can skip rope for ~15 minutes (and do so regularly) with no issuesI'm just kinda over it, been smoking for 15 years since 15
I'm currently going cold turkey on weed, cigs and alcohol. Hit a really low point in life and I'm trying to pull myself out. Hope you guys can find a reason to live and stop killing yourselves too. BRB, gonna go have a big glass of milk.

>>738638641Smoking is really only stigmatized in the USA and it was only a few years to a decade between that and everyone vaping.
No one even smokes anymore unc
>>738632291It enhances your faps.I still miss that head spin of the first cig on an empty stomach.
cigarette smoke is so nasty that I genuinely can't understand why anyone smokes
>>738645059>calls someone grandpa>posts an 8 year old study
>>738629470I usually have a cig or two every few months when drunk. I’ve never made it a habit and never felt the desire to smoke while sober. That being said I most likely would’ve been a smoker if you were allowed to smoke inside like back in the day.
>>738632291Teens are retarded. The part of the brain that cant understand long term shit doesnt work yet.Nobody starts smoking past their mid 20's
>>738640459>ninja gaiden on nesI remember that from 38 years ago when I was a kid. It was extremely fucking hard. I wanted to play the game so bad because: ninjas, but damn.
>>738638418at least with vaping kids get tricked by pretty colors and flavors. what the fuck kind of retarded kid tastes a cigarette and says "yeah lets do that again"

>>738645343Because it's forbidden, dangerous and you shouldn't do it. Thus making you cool
>>738645271I did
>>738644616Yes, I smoke inside.
>>738629470I didn't 'beat' beat it as in I have not even attempted the difficult (kilo difficult etc) stages above the tutorial/settings area nor have I SS ranked all the normal stages in the game but I have finished them all and that is enough for me to consider the game beaten at a basic level.
Women will bitch at you to stop drinking and smoking then go back to buying clothes and purses online.
>>738645417If you look like that, I'll buy you several packs
>>738645430Oh sorry, I thought this thread was about the hardest videogames you've beaten.

>>738644565Damn I must be pretty badass then because I waste my life sitting in my room on the internet.
>>738645587it doesnt, even tobacco farmers only see a small % of the final sale price
>>738632291Smokers are the biggest goycattle on the planet. Literally signing their lives away to big tobacco at $15 dollars a pack.
>>738645634Retards when forced to read a joke
>>738645603you argue like a woman lmao
>>738645684>Retards when forced to read a jokeok pajeet calm down
>>738645692At least substance abuse is relatively cheap. Shopping addiction is far more expensive. The only thing worse is a gambler. And many shopping addicts are also gamblers.
gaming, coffee and smoking goes really well together
>>738645741>price is the only thing that mattersman you are an american arnt you, I think it will cost more in the end since you dont have health care
I remember one time I was trying to quit and and thought to myself, I'll distract myself with Starcraft 2, which I'd never played before. Turns out the terrans, which are the faction for trying the game out, are using tobacco products in like 90% of their unit portraits.
i'd pick up smonking if the packaging looked good enough. it's retarded logic, but it is what it is.
>>738645794Coffee and cigarette enjoyers are deeply spiritual individuals
This is what you look like when you smoke

>>738645993>smokers are hot twinks
>>738645859Vanquish made me buy a pack recently. It wasn't satisfying though and I threw them out. Guess I'm content with just watching Sam smoke.

Why are cigarettes after a meal the best?
>>738646673I used to do that but I hate the taste now. It ruins the satisfaction of the meal I just had.My routine used to be pure hedonism.>everyone is in bed>sneak outside for a joint and a cigarette>usually didn't finish the joint and left it in the ashtray for later>go back inside and goon for 45 minutes>pour a drink and watch some anime>for the next few hours alternate between doing shots and going back outside for a few more hits off the joint and another cig>by now it's early morning (like 4 or 5)>go eat an ungodly amount of food>finish the joint and have one last cigarette>pass out as I play a video gameI did that almost every night for a decade or so.
>>738646841That's full on addict behaviour but i bet it felt amazing for the first couple of years
They dont have this one, but they have the Allen Carr version on Retroachievementshttps://retroachievements.org/game/17790
>>738646953It was absolute heaven for the first few years. I watched so much anime during that time period. I was knocking out damn near a season of shows every night. But time marches on steadily and before you know it you're old and have nothing to show for it but a wrecked body and DUIs.
I only smoked Mevius and weird shit like Black Devil. I can safely say that japan has been the oot cause of my downfall.
>>738647110I wasted my time similarly but not to that extendGooning on weed has no business feeling that good, used to spend HOURS doing that every night. Goon for an hour -> smoke -> another hour of gooning -> finish J -> coomGlad I stopped lmao, though I still enjoy weed occasionaly, i just can't have it at home otherwise it becomes an everyday thing quickly
>>738646971god i hate achievementniggers so much
>>738632291>all the downsides of drugs>without any of the upsidesNever understood the appeal, even as a teenager.
>>738647348I gooned to the point where my skin was raw but I would keep going. My dick actually bled sometimes. That's actually how I learned that I have an actual skin condition.
At least when I'm drunk I actually play video games. When I'm sober I end up here at 4 in the morning.
>>738629470Ok for real, should I get this? I’m trying to quit rn
>>738638384Your good health? I quit weed and opiates and stims and I’d switch places with you in a heartbeat.
>>738645558She's more of a hard drugs kind of a girl
>>738648383No, be a man and quit cold turkey. Cigarettes are one of the easiest addictions to quit because they stink and make you feel like shit. Don't you want to stop hacking up black shit every morning?
>>738631787This game needs a re-release or something
>>738632291I don’t smoke or vape or anything but seeing everyone instantly going>noooo you can’t vape that’s bad for you tooMakes me question the whole thing I get this vibe that the elites just don’t like it aesthetically. It feels very Puritan.
>>738648383Yes. It's about rethinking you relationship with smoking. It's genuinely helpful.
>>738643872
>>738648664In 10-20 years there will be studies that show that vaping is bad for you in some different way that we don't understand yet.
>>738648497I find that hard to believe
>>738648745At least it doesn't stink
>>738648505The issue is that they are highly satisfying and smell/taste great to me which is why it was hard to quit until now. I’ve been smoking for 16 years and am not at the coughing up funk stage yet. They did start making me feel very tired and kind of dumb recently as i went back to school which is why I’m quitting now cold turkey, yeah. But I feel like knowing in what ways my body is getting better could be pretty fun. All the apps I tried for that so far are pretty shit.
>>738648705Wdym your relationship with smoking
>>738648745What I mean is they are already banning stuff like flavors here for vapes solely because they don’t want people to do it.
>>738648741Ben came to visit us!
>>738648752You find it hard to believe that a degenerate drug addict projects his failures onto every character he likes? I don't find that hard to believe at all.
>>738648705The one thing I remember from his book I skimmed through years ago is something along the lines of >a smoker who’s out of smokes will smoke a piece of rope if they have toWhich is pretty spot on for heavy smokers
>>738648812Stuff like why do you smoke, what you get out of it, etc. Changing your mentality. That kinda thing.
>>738644946Smoking is stigmatized in northern yurop too, it's seen as a habit for poors and the uneducated.
>>738648792Go for a jog. You'll WILL hack up nasty shit afterwards. You are extremely delusional if you think after 16 years your lungs aren't damaged and filled with nasty shit.
>>738648968I definitely do think that. It actually worries me that I didn’t have the heavy coughing fits expected when quitting, as I didn’t smoke in about a week. I even did some lifting and didn’t have them. Like my lungs are maybe not repairing themselves enough to expel the gunk :(
>>738632291>willfully hitting your head against a wall just because why notI genuinely do this as well
>>738648792Apps are for faggots who need someone to hold their hand. Cold turkey and replacing substance abuse with exercise is how real men quit. Get off your lazy ass, go for a run tomorrow morning and listen to how badly you're wheezing.
>>738640263The blackpill is that smoking does make yoy unironicly cool, its the easiest way to socialize with the easiest icebreaker >Got a light man?Got both my current job and multiple dates from a simple smoke break Bad for your health Great for your social lifet. ex smoker
>>738649025Just smoke when you wanna be social. If you can do it with drinking why not smoking.
>>738649025>everyone avoids me because i smell like shit and am gone half the time on a smoke break>but it's good for my social life!cigarettes aren't all you're smoking it would seem. you are either 70 years old or full of shit, in either case, you should stop doling out advice. you should also stop smoking you weakling
>>738649025>Aura farmingWhat does that mean?
>>738649023Yeah you’re right but still, isn’t it cool knowing exactly the rate of repair of your lungs and neurotransmitters and whatever? I still think it’s cool
>>738648664>thing that was designed to help you stop smoking>so people uses it with the misconception it's less bad for you than a regular cigaretteThe problem mostly comes down to people treating vaping as better than smoking so inevitably they overdo it, but you inhale a ton of garbage with vapes and we don't really have any idea of the long term consequences of this.
>>738649018It takes me about two weeks after quitting to start hacking shit up. It doesn't take long for it to get out of there though. Once it's gone you just abstain and let your body repair. You'll have scar tissue in your throat and lungs from smoking for so long but you should be OK as long as you stay away from it. It only took me about a week to not have a single craving anymore but you have to be careful because years down the road any random little thing could trigger you. I had quit for about two years until one day I smelled a cigarette on a cute cashier's breath and fell off the wagon. I spent all summer smoking, probably bought 10 packs or so in those 3 months. I made myself really sick one day when I had about 10 of them in a row. I was rolling around on the bathroom floor kicking myself in the ass for being weak and hurting myself again.
>>738649025No one does that anymore old man. Kids just discretely take a puff from their vape pens everywhere like a bunch of faggots.
>>738630107That’s not true tho. Taking a vasoconstrictor all day every day is still bad for you. I wish nicotine alone was fine.
>>738649186Maybe, I'm old so I don't rely on electronics for that kind of shit. I just know that your body immediately starts repairing itself when you stop. I had no idea your liver repairs itself too. I'm an alcoholic too so I hope I can spare myself future health issues if I stop now. Maybe if I live to be old I'll start abusing my body again because by then who cares.
>>738629470Virgin smoker wannabe-quitter vs chad sugar-addicted
>>738649025>smell like a hobo>start acting up when you haven't had your fix>always broke so constantly asking others to pay for your shitSmokers are literally just drug addicts.
>>738649223Thanks that’s pretty reassuring to think that I just didn’t get there yet. >>738649298>alcoholicSame. Kind of, I stopped chronically drinking but I still get shitfaced if I have the opportunity. I’m 30 so I guess im having some kind of life crisis, stopped heavy hash use, stopped daily drinking, smokes are next.
>>738649096
>>738649498But he looks worried and gay..
>>738649498I dont get it
>>738649448Good job. I'm 35 and coming to terms with the fact that substance abuse and porn addiction is the reason why my life has gone absolutely nowhere since high school graduation. At 30 you still have a lot of time to fix yourself. At 35 I feel like I'm genuinely almost out of time.
>>738649576>At 35 I feel like I'm genuinely almost out of time.That's your body trying to find reasons to keep you addicted.Don't be a retard.
>eat bread and sweets each day>1 to 2 beers daily>masturbation each dayAt least I don't smoke and do fit, I guess...
>>738649642I mean out of time to have a normal life. Because even after I sober up I'm still a filthy NEET.
>>738649725At least you'll be a filthy NEET who isn't feeling like shit because of alcohol and hangover.
>>738649576I feel like I’m out of time too, but I’m still trying to go to uni and get a degree despite the fact I’ll probably finish at 37 if I’m lucky. Because I realized that in a moment I’ll be 35 and will finish at 42.. a moment after 42 to finish at 50, or never. It’s not too late anon, some of my friends are still full blown addicts, some died young from drugs. You’re exactly at the right time to make that change, sorry for the cliche, that time is always now because now is when you can do it, because you have come to these realizations now. If I was to dwell on all the years I’ve wasted I’d sink to despair that will prevent me from doing anything at all. Just continue improving yourself and consider yourself lucky you still can.
>it's over at x years old>no point in trying after y years old
>>738649884People always love to look for excuses to feel miserable.
>>738649725>mean out of time to have a normal lifeLike I said, stop trying to find excuses stay addicted to shit.
>>738649025Smoking is only cool when you already look cool so its a waste. Some ugly fuck smoking just makes you an even bigger loser than before.
>>738649829Thanks m8. WAGMII think going back to school would drive me nuts. I'll probably just go straight for a job. Just remember anon that there are a lot of people with degrees that are in the same boat as NEETs. Unless you're doing it to be around college sluts, in which case don't forget to hit the gym.
>>738650058That's true with everything. People thing it's *thing* that makes somebody cool but cool people make everything look cool
I'm 30 and I've never smoked before, should I give it a try?
>>738650070Honestly I thought about it and just being clean and disciplined enough to study will be a great achievement, as well as having professional knowledge and confidence in some field. It’s gonna be worth it even if I’ll still be a neet and honestly even if I don’t finish just the process will improve me greatly. And I think you need a goal even if it’s arbitrary to avoid despair in the long term. Good luck too anon wagmi and sometimes you get a better job than you’d think even without uni so have hope
>>738642431I have like 6 unopened packs of these. You look like a massive faggot btw.
>>738632291Because they make it look cool in movies, it's their only way to advertise it these days. Smoking and drinking booze is one of the most retarded things you can do, not to mention costly.Thing I can't stand most about smokers is that they smell like shit.
>>738650389At least booze is fun and gets you laid
>>738641131>>738642696Not remotely healthy in the slightest
>>738650389>Because they make it look cool in moviesMeanwhile the average smoker looks like a hobo.
>>738650443Having drunk sex with some random whore is full retard.
>>738650459The only people I see smoking in public these days are an absolute mess. My co-workers were shocked when they caught me smoking because they said I look too clean to be a smoker and they can never smell it on me.
>>738645271>The part of the brain that cant understand long term shit doesnt work yet.I'm sorry to hear you were retarded as a teenager but I understood long-term consequences before I even hit puberty, you fucking retard.>Nobody starts smoking past their mid 20'sAlso false
Cigs were piss easy to quit. Booze only calls to me every once in a while. But God damn is weed hard to quit. Nothing is better than that first smoke in the morning when it's still dark and quiet outside and I can just sit and enjoy the solitude.
why does /v/ give cigarette smokers a pass but with weed smokers its all "DUDE WEED LMAO"
>>738629470Quitting smoking was easy due to it being not acceptable in society anymore.Quitting drinking is a different beast.
>>738650815DUDEXD
>>738650872it being not accepted by society these days makes me wanna smoke more
>>738643146>That goes for caffeine, too.How much is unhealthy, here? Been consuming 2 espresso almost daily for years, for reference.>t. yuropoor, so no american coffee here
>>738650501She’s a drunk whore that night but sometimes when you wake up you discover that she’s actually a nice girl and you date for three years. You’d be surprised how non shitty a person can turn out to be. Also, I’m the one who’s drunk, she doesn’t have to be, she just needs to think I’m cute.
>>738650872>not acceptable in society anymore?
>>738632467They won though? they now own most major food companies which is why food is full of shit now, because surprisingly the tobacco companies don't care about their customers health
>>738632291It takes my edge off at the end of the day.Been smoking 1 at the end of every day for years.Can't really understand people who smoke an entire packet per day.
>>738650815Because your a newfag. /v/ has always been, in somewhat majority, anti smoking, anti tattoos, anti drinking, christian leaning really
>>738637847It just goes to show how much of a joke this place has gotten. Most probably don't even know that "normie" was just what faggots on NeoGAF and Reddit started using since "normalfag" was too offensive.
>>738649096>>738649536Standing and looking cool at the same time
>>738629470it isn't all that hard. took me two goes. had a bad flu for a week and a bit, but then I was fine. Only pussies find it hard. you aren't a pussy, are you , anon?
>>738648630It's on steamstore.steampowered.com/app/606710/
>>738629470alcohol.because i was a solo drink at night while doing things by myself kind of guy it was really hard because just doing anything by myself at night would feel like shit unless i was drinking, so i just did the one thing i never did by myself while i was drinking - masturbate.because I was drinking so hard and getting complete black out that actually getting my dick hard and cumming felt like a complete chore i figured I'd get through that first month of sobriety by just beating myself silly for like 3-4 hours a night and it actually helped a ton. Since I was doing something my brain didn't associate with drinking, I was whiling away the time and getting through the night, and I was blowing some pretty sick nuts into my onaholes and getting some decent endorphin rushes so that first month went by like it was nothing.i eased video games back into it by just playing really long RPGmaker eroge with gentle onahole stimulation and it worked a treat.
>>738644201>i get a headache after like 3 days without a coffeecaffeine is a vaso-constrictor and keeps your adenosine receptors blocked. That's where the headache comes from.Your body should be able to adapt back to normal after maintaining that no-caffeine state.
>>738644672Hope you clean your PC / console insides monthly, then.ashes from cigs are insidious and no amount of ventilation gets you completely rid of them.
>>738651834I don'tI blow through a straw to clean it when my pc gets loud
>>738637936>7 monthsThats like playing on game journalist difficulty. You didnt beat the game
>>738637936You'll end up addicted to a lot more things in your lifetime with a mindset like that.
>>738632291I started smoking at 33 just for the hell of it and I honestly enjoy it.
>>738632291Ive never started but some of my friends have said it was to get extra breaks during work (smoke breaks). So you can blame capitalism for that i suppose
>>738654554Wtf can’t you just say you’re going smoking and then not do it? Why actually smoke
>>738650815Most of 4chan are either literal children or narcissists who never actually grew up so they are hyper judgmental on everyone out of jealousy of their own insecurities and desire to control people. Once you stop taking "advice" from thi places and just generally do what makes you happy you'll understand that most people do not give a fucking shit if you smoke, drink or goon.
>>738654638Smoke break means some other dude follows you to smoke too, most likely your superior since he's just fucking around and the smoking room/back of the compound is almost never empty. Someone's going to snitch if you don't start smoking. Smokers used to be a whole social class of people who get an extra hour of break mostly because the guys in charge also wanted to smoke.
>>738632291Self-destruction was the coolest shit when I was 17. Also it's a ritual and a social experience. I still smoke when around my smoker friends even though I've quit years ago.
>>738632291>there are 0 upsides or benefitsI heard it calms you(never happened with me tho)
>>738656934The reality is that it's just doing something when you're stressed out so that helps with the nerves, but as you become dependent on smoking, you become stressed out without a fix.
>>738632291Self-destructive habit common in people with (low-key) suicidal tendencies. Similar to gambling or driving very fast without a seatbelt.
>>738632291When people say the tobacco industry targets kids and teenagers they arent lying. I bet most people here started smoking in their teens
>>738656934Yeah it gives you a head rush until you're addicted to nicotine, which happens very quickly. In college there was a week where I had one cig a day then I realized I dont want to get addicted to this shit and stopped and by then I already had a massive headache for the next 2 or 3 days. Now imagine doing it for years
>>738657674Never smoked, but yes.I've seen more people smoking during my school years, than I did my actual adult years (I'm 30).
I'm thinking of trying chantix bro, anything I should worry about?
>>738658592Everyone I know that's tried it has gotten terrible nightmares from it, so be prepared for that I guess.
just smoked a cigarette and drank a coffeeAMA
>>738655775This right here.
>>738658790Blood pressure status?
Not only I don't like coffee, but it gives me the shit.
>>738658883blood pressure? always on
I smoke half a pack a day minimum, there's simply nothing for me to replace smoking with. No, chewing gum is not a replacement. Without cigs I wouldn't be motivated enough to get anything done.
>>738632291>/v/chudcel autist fails to understand fun and enjoyment and acts superior about itLike clockwork
>>738632291I found it a more consistent upper than caffeine with less side effects.
>>738659154Have you considered finding yourself a hobby?
>>738656316Nicotine is a productivity drug. Anyone doing real work should probably be using it.Not me tho. My job is fake and gay.
>>738659309Can't have a hobby at work. 2 cigarettes before work, 2 cigarettes at lunch, 2 cigarettes on the way home. Smoke after dinner, that's another 2 cigarettes. We're already at 8 cigarettes.
>>738659154>Without cigs I wouldn't be motivated enough to get anything doneYes thats how addiction works

>>738638503>>738653908Entirely a skill issue. Addiction is not real. It's trivial to start and end use of a substance if you're not mentally weak.>>738638148Big Tobacco were the ones claiming vaping was a bad thing, just like how the marijuana industry now is rallying against hemp thc.>>738638361People on the internet associated vaping with cringe the same way they associated a funny hat with atheism, so it's considered doubleplusungood. It's also basically dead since a few years back every flavor that wasn't bourbon, cigar, or shit got banned for the ever-present "think of the children" excuse and yet another thing had its minimum age raised to 21.

>>738629470I only quit smoking because my cute niece asked me with tears in her eyes..."uncle you're gonna die! please stop..." how the fuck was I gonna say no to that
>>738660401I'm sure you never do anything unhealthy with your money.
>>738649296he said "better" not "good for" your lungs
>>738637946The first correct reply, didn't bother reading the rest. Most people get into smoking because they see rudged bad-asses on the TV doing it, then use peer pressure on the rest.
>>738660239Yeah the crackdown on vaping was so nonsensical and coordinated I’m 100% convinced it was globohomo stepping in to say>no this isn’t allowed to be part of culture because I don’t like it

>>738660319Go on, project your insecurities on me. I've cold turkey quit smoking and drinking, vaping, and nic pouches, zero effects or withdrawal.
>>738660526Unironically, yes.You're trying to compare buying overpriced cigarettes, something which literally have warnings about how unhealthy they are printed on the box and are one of the most marked up items you can buy, to some mystery item that you're not even sure that I buy or not. Considering that the only things that would be a bigger waste of money + more damaging to personal health would be harder drugs or alcohol, and I buy neither, I can confidently say that yes, I am a better person than you are when it comes to spending my money on things that don't kill me.
>>738632291you'd be surprised how many good conversations you'll have by just lighting up a cig outside of a bar. its like this weird innate social connection smokers have.
>>738661872you're dumb and don't know anythingthe lesser you talk, the better for youtell a real alcoholic to quit cold turkey and that mf is gonna die

>>738661112Unironically it was the big cig companies stalling change so they could catch up and control the market. Vapes have pretty much replaced cigs because they are both healthier and cheaper and cigarette companies had been scoffing at them for a while claiming it will never take off only for it to explode. Now not only did their market tank but governments hated it too because the tax revenue from cigarettes plummeted too. So instead of just following the trend and organically changing with the times they doubled down till it went critical and made a bunch of bullshit up to try and stop the growth so they could catch up and exploit the market 10 fold.

>>738669670GIVE ME A SMOKE WEEABOO
I was bored this week house sitting for a family member so I just bought a pack of cigarettes to pass the time and by the end of the pack I was disgusted and over them. Nicotine is a bitch but cigarettes are easy to quit once you realize how much better every other method is. Having a late night fag after drinking is the only time they're enjoyable
>>738632362You really going to compare world wide assasins, coup and terrorism funders who literally flooded their own country with drugs to a company ignoring data that would make their market highly regulated in most countries.Governments are supposed to be for the benefit of the public, private corporations exist only to extract profit. Don't look for morality in Corps like you should do for the alphabet glowies who ostensibly protect you..

>>738632291Boredom and community. That's it. These two pressures together dictate the vast majority of people's (npc's) habits. The reason someone smokes is the same reason someone vapes, the same reason someone gets a tattoo, the same reason someone wears jewelry, and the same reason buys a fancy new car that's five times as expensive as another car despite the less fancy car performing the same function on an equal level. Thus, based upon a person's habits in comparison to the society in which they live, you can determine to what degree such a person is an npc. Someone who smokes in America in the modern day who's part of a generation known to be heavy smokers is an obvious npc, for example, but someone who smokes while being part of a generation known to break from this mold is actually less of an npc as it's proof of their ability to break from the stigma. Someone who smokes nothing, however, is proof of the ultimate separate individual as they are clearly able to overcome their generation's habits entirely instead of substituting it with the habits of an older generation.
>>738646971Why is this shit so fucking comical bros
>>738637946it doesn't tho it makes you look poor and retarded
>>738629470Last time I quit smoking like a year ago, I just sat there and played Oblivion Remastered for like a week or two. I think quitting cold turkey isn't the way to go though, the first time I quit by switching to vape and gradually decreasing it, the withdrawls only lasted a few days to a week instead of like three weeks of misery.And yeah like others ITT I picked it up as an adult because free breaks at work and was half-suicidal anyways
>>738667713This is who I'm trying to look like though
>>738675236>kukukuYagi-san, you retard.
With as hard as they go against cigarettes, I'll bet there are some actual health benefits to tobacco and nicotene.
>>738670242But that’s bs. It’s a horrible anti parasitic, if YOU were a real chud you’d know what supplements are good against parasites and what are good as stims and nootropics because you’d be a veteran of the Covid era health nut threads. But it’s you who actually wears this culture as a cheap costume so you take the most accessible jewified thing out there and make chud coded excuses as to why they’re based. Because you can’t quit because you’re the perfect goy.
I'm still trying.
>>738676380not a chud but i remember smokers having some protection against getting covid even if it caused them to be more susceptible to dying from it once caught
>>738632291i just smoke when i go visit japan. it makes me feel cool like tom cruise in the last samurai. then i go home and never touch a ciggy til my next trip. simple as
>>738635016just dont be lazy and stay on the ball, learning to draw takes a lot of time
>>738632291>there are 0 upsides or benefits.I mean, have you tried it, autism-kun?
>>738678704That's one thing that annoyed me as an ex-smoker. Non-smokers will tell you that it doesn't have any benefits, then you can list them out and they'll just move the goalposts to "but it's bad for you". Yeah, no shit.
>>738678945As an ex-smoker they're right, there's no upside other than a small initial body high which you quickly become immune to, the addictive part is alleving the withdrawl symptoms
>>738638121weed can be just as addictive you just have to be unlucky enough to find your vice>>738640746I chain smoked on and off for almost 8 years, but I quit overnight when I moved to an area that had dispenseries. I also know people who are crippled by cigarette addiction and have a genuinely bad time trying to quit, everyone's brain is wired differently.
>>738679254>there are no upsides besides the upsides I omitted and refuse to name because being ex-anything involves ritualistically opposing said thing
>>738680961I don't blame anon, it's just what worked for them quitting. Everybody has their own way. And that advice does work for a lot of people, just not everybody.
>>738632291truthnuke
>>738632291it's a wonderful experience. you think it's so hard to quit because nicotine is somehow uniquely """""""addictive"""""""" whatever the fuck that means? no, smoking is just literally the best, and it's tragic that it has such dire consequences
>>738662281you dont go out much to parties or concerts and its okay
>>738632291
Just like most bad things: People need to be protected from them.It's not your fault you incurred something bad. But with your wisdom you should try to save others from going through it.
>>738632291it makes me look BADASS
>>738676820Sure but the idea that nicotine is the most safe and effective supplement of lowering infection risk is silly. It’s also a legit dewormer, but it’s retarded to deworm with something that at best case scenario fucks your vascular system and worst makes you smoke it and get cancer.
>>738680961>besides the upsides I omittedname 10
>>738678945>>738680961Well? What are the benefits exactly? If you name focus as one of them it would be rightfully dismissed as you are just exiting withdrawal momentarily which allows for relative focus ie you are overall less focused. So, what are the objective benefits?
>you can not beat this game
>>738684812We wouldn't have David Bowie's or Tom Waits' wonderful music without the help of cigarettes.
>>738632291>NOOO YOU SHOULD WANT TO LIVE UNTIL YOU'RE 100 AND CAN NO LONGER USE THE BATHROOM OR EVEN MOVE WITHOUT ASSISTANCE IF YOU SMOKE YOU MIGHT ONLY LIVE TO BE 73!
>>738632291i went a long time as just a "when im at a party i'll have a cigarette" guybut on my honeymoon i was chain smoking japanese cigarettes to deal with the pain my poor lanklet legs were going through walking 20k steps a day
I still consider beating the dark cotton world in super meat boy to be my greatest gaming achievement

>play indie game>ciggies restore sanity
>>738671928Make a separate save file for three different occasions: The escape sequence after Blade Wolf, the running-up-the-building sequence, and before Armstrong 1 and 2 because you need to typically take no damage if you want an S. (aside from the scripted grabs) Those auto-save too quickly after failing; with normal ranked fights, you can see your result, then pause and retry if it's not S (do it quickly before the auto-save)The hardest part of an all S-rank Revengeance mode run is the lobby fight at the start of World Marshall HQ. (the game throws two Desperado GRADs at you, even; switch to infinite sub-weapon wig for it)Look up how to cheese Metal Gear Ray at the start.Don't even attempt Revengeance mode unless you have fully maxed-out stats.Don't use Fox Blade if you want S-ranks, it kills too quickly and then you can't get Zandatsu and combo bonuses.

>>738662008This is the answerSomething about the exact kind of buzz it gives is the perfect fit for shooting the shit with someone outside after somethingI don't "smoke" but when I go to cons I always have a pack on me and I never touch them or think about them in between
>>738638665
>>738685243retard. smoking is what's going to cause you to be an invalid full of health problems when you get older. if youre straight edge you can make it to old age with enough health to maintain your independence.
>>738650682For me it was kratomNicotine and alcohol never dug their claws into me at all no matter how hard I fucked with them but I fell off the wagon immediately with kratom and didn't even realize it was happening, I've been clean for 2 and a half months and I still get angry and sad every night around the time I used to take it. The feeling that something is missing still hasn't gone away
>>738629470Do you have to start smoking to beat this legit or does it still count if you don't?
>>738649096Zoomers had to recreate the concept of being a poseur but framed in a less accusational way.
I hate threads like these reminding me that this place is infested with normalfags now who do things like smoke, drink, talk to other people and have jobs. Get off my site you disgusting freaks.
>smoking looks coolIn movies sure, in real life the stink immediately reminds everyone around them of how trashy it is
People in my family smoke and it's impossible to breathe if they're doing it in the same room I am.I could not imagine picking up smoking just from that alone. I don't know how people do it.
>>738632291Nictotine is a psychoactive substance that makes you feel a pleasurable physical and mental sensation when you use it. Do you guys really think people smoke or vape just because they think it looks cool?
>>738629470all I can think about while smoking is all the cancerous chemicals seeping into my gums and teeth and the smoke turning my lungs blackHow the fuck can someone respect themself so little to do this shit daily
>>738657674I started smoking at about 28.I'm not saying you're wrong. But I get the impression that its unusual because most people I know did start smoking a teenager.For me its ritual as much as its become a habit. I suspect if I had something else for a ritual I would quit smoking, but I don't know anything that beats lighting a cig to clear my mind when someone in a meeting says something stupid and I need a few moments to gather my thoughts.If there are others who started smoking as an adult, is it similar?
Here's an interesting thought experiment for anti-smokers: if smoking was somehow altered through some sci-fi bullshit technological breakthrough so that it is 100% not harmful to anyone, be it the smoker, those nearby or even the environment around them, absolutely zero contagions or pollution, would you still oppose it?
>>738688541it makes my withdrawal symptoms go awa- I mean it makes me super focusedyou just wouldn't get it chud
>>738632291What's wrong with a lil cig from time to time
>>738632291I started smoking in college because I was suicidal and figured I might as well kill myself slowly instead. I got better.
>>738688676I don't get it, I honestly think the sugar high from eating a bowl of ice cream is more fun than a nicotine high
>>738689119that's cause you're a manchild
>>738685689Lmao. As I thought. Fucking pathetic, you have one benefit and it’s that you feel better for five minutes when you get your fix, and you dare call others disingenuous. This >>738682318 is the thing closest to the truth and it’s far from a benefit. The one good thing about a cigarette feels good when you smoke it but destroys your body and kills you. I’d tell you to kys but you’re way ahead of me.
>>738689384I don't really eat ice cream, I'm just saying
>>738690182so you made a claim and then admitted to lacking the base knowledge that would substantiate it to any degree
>>738690340I smoked for five or six years and I have, in fact, had a bowl of ice cream before.
>>738690182Lol
>>738677064based
>>738688579Easily yes because it still smells awful, how is this an interesting thought experiment.
>>738688404fake
I only smoke when the Chinese man next door offers me one of his cigs from back home. Don’t know what they’re called but they smell really good.
>>738695734>Don’t know what they’re called but they smell really good.Anon that's opium.
>>738632291I got into it because of my dad. Specifically because he'd buy like 3 cartons at a time and I'd steal a pack from each one and then sell them for $1 a pieceThen I started smoking them randomly one day waiting for the bus.His were straight ass though so I'd usually dedicate one pack to newports (going rate was $2 for those, it was a mostly nigger school and they were considered premium).
I smoked for 20 years, a pack of cigs a day and weed everyday. Quit both at the same time cold turkey/ that was back in 2013.I still like the smell of cigs, but they're history for me now.
>>738696143DUDE WEED LMAO
Bump.
you didn't beat me, broI'll find you in your darkest time of need and you'll come running right back to me
>>738685559thanks babei got to armstrong but got clapped on revengeance difficulty, I'll try it again eventually
I’ve smoked for 14 years off and on. I originally did it because I could get extra breaks at my shitty job and everyone I worked with smoked. The years creep up on you and one day you wake up and realize you have been doing this endless cycle for over a decade. I feel like I’m at a crossroads now with it, it’s either try to be healthy or die tragically in my 50s.
>>738629470It was hard.. but not due to difficulty
>>738637946Fat cigars, yes. Shitty small smokes no
>>738638384The didn't fall for it award
>>738629470Nicotine doesn't feel that bad to stop. The issue is starting again after quitting, cause it's easy to stop, easy to start.

>>738649025>The blackpill is that smoking does make yoy unironicly cool>yoy unironiclyMaybe you should go back to smoking, because it seems cigs have fucked your head up anyway
>>738629470EVERYONE WHO EVER DRANK WATER DIED
>>738642954>I figured more anons would do it because it was "cool"The opposite. I legit want to take up cigar smoking because of how 'uncool' it is now and how it goes against what normies accept (but actually mainly because I love whisky and acquired a taste for tobacco through that). Normalfags who'd smoke it just to fit in while reaping none of the actual benefits of it are cringe.
>>738659174>trailer trash gets cancer and diesLike clockwork
>>738656934That just means you didn't inhale deeply enough. Cigs aren't like other tabacco, you have really pull the smoke into your lungs to get the proper effect, but if you do you should really feel it.
>>738638557>no actual evidence vaping is harmfulLmao. Nicotine is a known carcinogenic and vaping is a way more effective method of consuming it.
>>738703362I think this guy might be high
Smoking is the dumbest addiction ever. Even putting aside the risk of cancer (the least of my concerns really), you look stupid huffing a stick, you reek of shit, your teeth are rotting yellow, and from what I gather you need to do it a thousand times until you get over the urge to puke and then you feel a slight high. Like holy fuck just do drugs like a normal person.
>>738629470i read it as "stop smoking my couch"
>>738704002Anyone actually hang with habitual vapers? I know someone who simply can't go 5 steps in a parking lot without suckling that sick bubblegum teat. He has a genetic heart valve condition too which is even more confounding.
>Be Marijuana>Could literally be the greatest third wheel next to cigs and alcohol>iall that is needed is to just place a THC cap on % on all products and flower and make it mandatory to scale it with CBD and terps>Instead we get ever increasing thc % to fucked up heights>all because of the appeal to increasingly brain damaged stoners and normalfags thinking big number = better
>>738704185>>738704185microwaves and cell phones also give you cancer. if you're already bound to die, which we all are, you might as well smoke em if you've got them.
>>738629470>E for everyoneI don't know why that's so funny to me. I guess you could theoretically start at any age and it's never a bad time to quit; still, it's a game about smoking (quitting, thoughbeit, but it's still a central theme to the game) on a Nintendo console marketed to all ages.

>>738704616>mfw i literally avoid weed like the plague because of this The last few times I've made the mistake of thinking it was ok for me to try getting high again resulted in a full-blown nervous breakdown.
